Windsheild Wiper fail.. need some serious help

Calling for rain, plus this happened in the rain. They werent acting up at all, just quit! driver side quit straight up the window, then passenger went down and up a few more times then it stopped as well.
i can put them down manually with ease. where do i start to look on this, im lost as hell!

Sound like the transmission and/or the connectors broke. You can get to the mechanism pretty easily, remove the cowl (2 screws and maybe 2 pins) and you can see it.

check your PM.

I order the transmission. B4 I saw ur post. Of it happens again I'll do the bolt trick. While I had it all off I decided to surprise the wife. The plastic valice that hides the motor and wiper arms are now hit pink with glitter.
